A prince is a male royal family member, often the son or grandson of a king or queen. Princes typically hold a title that signifies their rank within a monarchy and may have specific duties, such as representing the royal family at events or participating in state affairs. Their roles can vary widely depending on the country's traditions and the structure of its monarchy. In many cultures, princes are seen as future leaders, preparing to inherit the throne. They may receive special education and training to prepare them for their responsibilities. Famous examples of princes include Prince William and Prince Harry from the British royal family.
